Falco from Hokuto no Ken who gets introduced as Ken's newest rival, only to die against a quite literally nameless mook to hype up the new evil country Ken is visiting.

How is Jared not on that chart? Also Patrick is a comic relief character so I don't really think he should be there.

>>143960323

Those were literally the major villains of the entire part. Nobody expected anything of him.

Someone like Rock Lee who is supposed to be quite strong himself but loses against the newest enemy to hype them up.

>who are the biggest jobbers

Guts
Kumagawa Misogi
Kaiji
Sayaka Miki

aka Team Loser

>>143960946
He's there

>>143961092
I think you're misunderstanding what the term "jobber" entails.

>>143961047

Someone who loses to an inferior opponent, often frequently, because they either don't take the opponent seriously or sabotage themselves in some other way.

Vegeta vs. Cell is a good example and highlights Vegeta as a jobber. He could have easily beaten Imperfect Cell, but allows him to power up and then gets rekt.

Gilgamesh in Fate has never lost to an opponent he couldn't have beaten if he had fought at full output. Whenever he loses, it's because he decides to show off or refuses to go all-out until its too late.

I'm not even sure if Giroro counts, since it's a comedy series and his gimmick is being hyped up as dangerous only to make a fool of himself.

>>143961134
I think it's you who doesn't know what the term jobber means.

>because they either don't take the opponent seriously or sabotage themselves

That's not what jobbers mean. Jobbers are just people who lose a lot. Many of them try very hard to win, but they can't, because they're jobbers. It doesn't even really have to do anything with HOW they lose. It's just people that constantly lose. That's literally what a true jobber is.

>>143961307
He's actually been kicking a lot of ass in some of the latest comics (when he's trying to clean up the monsters in order to see Saitama fight in the tournament) but yeah, he jobs pretty hard usually

>>143961335
>>143961335
No, in essence a jobber is a character A who loses to character B with the narrative purpose of making B seem more menacing. This usually is preceded by A being hyped up as being super strong.

>>143961335

It's not jobbing if you lose to a superior opponent.
That's why Vegeta is in the OP image and not the rest of the Z-Fighters. Vegeta loses when he could have won, whereas Tien or whoever never had a chance against Cell or whoever in the first place.

>>143961558
It's still jobbing since it's all done to showcase how strong Cell is.

Is he a jobber or just unlucky in some matches?

>>143961335
How the fuck is Guts a jobber? He gets his shit kicked in constantly, but he wins pretty much every time.
And Kaiji only loses once against the chairman, and that's due to the premise of the show being about him having to overcome hardship and win, he wins every other game he plays.

You can usually spot a "jobber" when they are hyped up to be strong as fuck, but lose to make the MC looks more powerful, like Monkey from Kill la kill.

Dude, he fucking beat Malik legit.
No way he's a jobber.

Was he a Jobber?
Been a while since I watched/read the anime/manga.

All of the Nanto Gosha Sei besides maybe Fudo exist only to hype up Raoh some more. They beat some random guys and then die against Raoh.

At least Juuza's fights were fun to watch tho.

>>143961654
You mean he ALMOST beat Marik. Didn't he forfeit or something because he would basically die if he did the winning move?

>>143961870
No he fainted right before he could play the winning move so Malik won.

>>143961870
He fainted, the whole evil energy bullshit Malik used was too much for him.
In terms of actual YGO gameplay, he completely demolished Malik at the end.

Are Mary Sues the opposite of a jobber?

>>143962071
no

>>143958800
So we talking THE Frieza or just Mecha Frieza? Because he was a legit threat until SS, in which he had already beat and/or killed most of the Z warriors and Vageta.

So in other words, Malik was the jobber.

Malik was pretty shit in general.

>gets outplayed by Mai and only wins because of some egyptian bullshit that was never before mentionend
>only wins against Joey because he fainted before the final move

>>143961804
No. He's a loser not a jobber.

>>143963312
Considering that a jobber only has to make his opponent look stronger than he is, although losing helps a lot towards that, he doesn't have to necessarily lose.

Other than Malik, are there any jobbers who won this way?

ITT: Nobody knows what a jobber is.

Jobber has nothing to do with winning. It's a character that occasional work or non important/casual work.

It's gugure-sensei.

>>143964368
The definition used here is actually taken from WWE terminology (not whatever you took it from), then extended to anime/manga characters.

>>143964627
>>143961534
These people are correct, it's from WWE where a hyped fighter would lose to make another fighter look better

>>143965089
>a hyped fighter
Sometimes a big fighter jobs, but actual jobbers are rarely regarded as actual threats. Often, they're just local indie unknowns.

Ange is a jobber

>>143961948
>>143961909
>>143961870
Forget malik, he had a 4-way free for all duel with Yugi, Kaiba and Malik and he buttfucked them all at the same time.

>>143965193
True, I usually only see the term thrown around though when it's an upset.

>>143960841
Pikachu is just a jobber when they want... Other times he takes out dragonites, regi something and latios.

>>143958800
>Torterra

>>143966304
He's a jobber

>>143963312

Some of those are not jobbers.

Not even near.


Pic related is the biggest one.

>>143958800

>Speedwagon

can't really be a jobber when you were a punk in the first place.

A jobber has to at least be strong, or have tales of them being all powerful, and then they get bitchslapped by Monster of the Day/Main Villain to make Villain/Monster look like a threat.

>>143966304

Torterra is a huge jobber. It was all praised to be this big powerhouse of Ash's team, basically the equlivant of Snorlax/Charizard/Sceptile

then it proceeds to lose every important battle the moment it evolves.

how is armin a jobber, he doesn't even fight

>>143972037
He just jobbed in the manga.

What happened to that guy in KLK?

So can we consider Gilgamesh as the ultimate jobber?

That fuck doll Yaya from Unbreakable machine doll, hyped the fuck up from the start as something special but gets pounded in to dirt every fight shes in. Its not even a second wind win in most cases. EVERY FIGHT IS WON WITH Deus ex machina.
